Home Front Family Network helped nearly 200 families escape homelessness last year, according to Kate Hatten, the organization's executive director.
Reggie Ash is a U.S. Air Force veteran. He has been going to this concert every year.
"When we retire from the military, we still want to continue to give back and this is just one way to give back," said Ash.
It was the community's military support that made him want to retire here after 24 years of service.
"It's really heartwarming to know that this community supports our military veterans like that," said Ash, "I think that's why the community continues to grow."
